Because there are caveats to some of the new payment methods, and because there are delays and people are likely going to need to make purchases several days in advance for sales due to bank delays, I figured I would write this break down.

Paypal

Paypal is our preferred payment method as the funds are immediately available, there are usually no delays (unless you pay with an e-check, or there is a temporary hold to verify your purchase) and the transaction fees are minimal.



Stripe

We currently offer two versions of Stripe payments, Stripe and Stripe Checkout, with Checkout primarily being for European purchases.

Stripe

The standard Stripe payment method only allows for Credit Card/Debit card by directly inputting your credit card details, or using Google Pay, Apple Pay or Microsoft Pay.

Apple Pay, Google Pay and Microsoft Pay all require that you use operating systems or browsers related to their companies, and to have a payment method saved to your account with them to make purchases. There is also only support for Credit Card or Debit Card, and no other pre-paid method such as Google Play or Apple Gift Card.



Stripe Checkout

Stripe Checkout is a separate API offered by Stripe, that focuses more on European payment methods, primarily having to do with online banking. These payment methods are slower due to bank approval, so expect a 2-4 day delay.
